Sien seemed like he was going to the back alley, so the maids, knights, and the little one followed him.
Naturally, Pat and Mat, who were under Matthias’ orders, secretly tailed behind Sien.
He was thought to be just going to the back alley, but Sien had designated the alleys quite specifically.
Ant Street, Pinea Street, Charlotte Street. Three places in all.
Interestingly, all three locations were gypsy settlements, where they set up their stands.
‘Gypsies are abundant in the back alleys… It must be a coincidence.’
Although a sense of danger prickled at him, Sien only showed a cute expression, as if he knew nothing.
Ted cautiously questioned the child’s innocent face.
“Why would you want to go to the dirty streets of the capital, Lord Sien? It’s not safe.”
Pat and Mat looked uncomfortably at the stiff knight.
He seemed to have not even learned the first character of ‘loyalty.’
Right now, Pat and Mat were, following Matthias’ orders, serving as nannies for the child. And they couldn’t even go to a mere gypsy alley.
If Sien Mirmode had been malevolent, Ted would have had to kneel.
Contrary to the villains’ expectations, Sien squished his chubby cheeks and spoke nonchalantly.
“Um, just because.”
“It’s dangerous there… There are many gypsies.”
“It’s fine. Ted and Asid will protect me!”
His smiling expression showed not a hint of mistrust or negativity. His pure smile could make anyone fall for him.
In fact, it seemed like the boy named Asid and the knight had already fallen for Sien long ago, wearing proud fatherly smiles.
“Well, then, let’s go!”
…Especially that boy Asid, who showed an almost supernatural level of loyalty.
Pat and Mat stared at them with serious, stern faces.
‘He is cute.’
‘But we are different from them. We are not swayed by a child’s charms.’
There must be a reason why Sien was specifically going into the world of gypsies.
Perhaps this might relate to Matthias’ command of ‘Capture anyone who may have tainted Sien with evil.’
Suddenly, a flash of realization zipped through Pat and Mat’s minds.
‘The one who tainted him might just be those gypsy folks.’
People call them ‘dirty gypsy folks,’ but at least Pat and Mat knew. Gypsies had something special about them.
They could easily enchant a child with their tricks.
In fact, regular street kids didn’t even think about going into a gypsy settlement.
‘We were told to leave him be.’
They obediently followed Matthias’ orders and trailed behind Sien towards the gypsy settlement.
(This is a time marker.)
I picked up a holy knight to threaten Axel Mirmode.
With this holy power, I could physically attack Axel.
But that’s not enough.
The most vulnerable point of a human is the psychological aspect. In the original story, Melodia effectively attacked that part and defeated Axel.
I need to precisely understand his psychology to gain an upper hand, and the person who could fill that role was a shaman.
‘I need to find a wellspoken gypsy who is loyal to me to enchant Axel.’
After a good night’s sleep and a day of leisure, the original story information I couldn’t remember due to drowsiness came back to me.
The first shaman Melodia sought was in the empire’s gypsy settlement.
That shaman was ‘truly’ mystical and ‘truly’ amazing, said to read human psychology like an open book.
Even the virtuous Melodia was scorned by the shaman. She visited the shaman three times but failed to win his heart. So, she ends up finding a shaman from the East.
Melodia deeply regretted not being able to bring a gypsy shaman.
So, if I were to find a gypsy sorcerer, it would give me a slight advantage when dealing with Axel.
“Can’t go to the Eastern Continent at just five years old. Melodia has already failed on that route, but you have to succeed.”
Given that Melodia had visited three times, there was a brief description in the novel about the sorcerer’s appearance and whereabouts.
A gypsy living in a gypsy settlement.
Someone with or without a black dot next to their lip, with brown hair.
Their age approximately between 10 and 50.
A person who speaks somewhat roughly and honestly.
I didn’t even know their gender.
It was very brief information.
“Whether there’s a black dot next to the lip or not, what kind of hint is that? If the age range is from 10 to 50, it’s practically all ages!”
Finding the sorcerer with this hint was like finding Mr. Kim in Seoul or a needle in a sandy beach.
But doing nothing wasn’t an option either.
I clenched my fist and resolved myself, thinking of the family members under me.
“It feels like I’ve become the head of a poor household….”
Still, having that thought snapped me back to reality, as if cold water had been poured on me.
I clenched my fist tightly and sank into deep thought about Axel.
“To catch Axel Mirmode, who is obsessed with sorcery and jinxes, I need to study sorcery myself.”
A nursery appeared before my eyes.
It seemed like a place specialized in taking care of gypsies.
“Let’s start looking there!”
I vigorously knocked on the nursery door.
“Hello! I’m looking for dir[—]”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
